STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A mobile mammogram bus provided no-cost screenings to eligible women on Thursday in Stapleton, an initiative sponsored by state Sen. Jessica Scarcella-Spanton.
Scarcella-Spanton, a Democrat who represents the North Shore and part of South Brooklyn, said the following:
“October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, for many on Staten Island, it’s personal. Staten Island has the highest cancer rates of all boroughs in New York, and now more than ever we need to come together to support critical investments in women’s healthcare. I am proud to partner with the Italian American Cancer Foundation, New York State Department of Health, First Central Baptist Church Nurses Ministry, and Central Family Life Center to provide no-cost mammograms to support early detection efforts. Early detection saves lives.”
